We both know I was speaking of the circumstances / realities of both situations / wars. Not only the circumstances of the wars themselves....but the World itself isn't even comparable regarding those two separate time periods.
But it doesn't surprise me that you would try and play word games. Those of your ilk love to live life that way.
We are going in circles here. You simply believe that the values of freedom and self-worth are not a good thing for the ME and will not help stamp out the root causes of what we are facing.
I on the other hand believe completely in these values and see them as our strongest allies in this GWOT. Far greater allies then any of our Coalition partners in the long run.
Stay safe from your whining armchair general seat. Thank God the true leaders are in charge.
